The Grunge Doll

By Luna LarkQuailBellMagazine.com

The grunge doll resembles a modern-day version of the Dickensian street urchin. She prefers old-fashioned fabrics in dark or muted colors that she heaps upon her delicate frame, layer upon layer. Even in the summertime, there is a certain fullness to her attire. She also favors boots and Mary Janes in blacks, grays, and browns. Her accessories tend to be nostalgic--such as cameos, lockets, and pocket watches--but she generally only wears one or two at a time. She is partial to scarves, hats, and varied hosiery. Hair-wise, she opts for a natural, slightly disheveled look. Very nearly always, she wears her hair long and wavy or curly. Her nails tend to be bare, though they may be painted a subtle shade of pink or beige. If she is a little gutter rat, her nails may be gray, black, or navy. She wears heavy eye make-up and some powder, but no lip color. she has no tattoos or unusual piercings.
